Random Thoughts of the Day - October 8, 2024

 

• The situation in Israel is tragic one year after Hamas killed 1200 and kidnapped 250 Israelis. Hezbollah and Hamas are determined to destroy Israel and kill all Jews.  It is devastating to see so many civilian casualties.  The extremists on both sides will prevent everlasting peace.
• The political situation in NYC is chaotic with the mayor indicted and most of his inner circle resigning. He should resign, but if he does there will be more mayhem when the Public Advocate becomes acting mayor and must call for a special election in 90 days.  Several candidates including former Governor Andrew Cuomo are likely to run.  The winner will serve until the end of 2025.  There is a general election for Mayor in November,
• The issue of integrity has yet to be discussed in the presidential election.  I can't understand why millions of people will vote for a man already convicted of felonies and was indicted on charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election,
• Tonight's game 3 is pivotal in the National League Division Series between the Mets and Phillies.  In a short series, anything can happen.
